Here comes Sam.

Sam is coming home today — yee-haw! — and after the busy morning he’s had I’ll bet he falls asleep on the plane providing there’s enough room for his legs. (It’s not so easy when you’re 6'5".) He just called to tell me that he and mom went out for breakfast with David, Lisa and Anna, they all stopped at Mount Sinai Cemetery to see his dad’s grave and then everybody dropped him off at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, which is where he is right now. The family photos below were taken this morning by Lisa at Mount Sinai Cemetery. Bob Hope and his airport appear courtesy of Google.

As for yours truly, I bounced — okay, that might be a slight exaggeration — out of bed this morning at 6:45 after eight hours of luxurious and uninterrupted sleep, folded two loads of sheets and towels, napped through Gypsy starring Rosalind Russell (see right) and ate leftover hot and sour soup. I actually would have preferred napping through Funny Girl but I deleted it last night.

Sam’s flight gets in at 5:30 so I’ll be leaving here about an hour before that to pick him up. According to American Airlines’ website he’ll be arriving at gate C-15, so I decided to provide the enhanced map that appears below for your possible interest. All important features are outlined in pink.

Thank you for reading this. Seriously.
